After calculating the costs, Mo Shuwan felt incredibly fortunate that she hadn't opened those gossip posts to satisfy her curiosity. However, she opened the forum again now in order to find information about the secret manual.

[Damn it, who the hell said I had a secret formula to improve one's constitution? Good as hell, I'm so broke I only have my underwear left!]

[Hehe, I am the secret to improving your physical condition. Those who use it will know its effectiveness.]

You all know the captain of the G-269 Time Bus team, right? According to his teammates, his secret technique is "I am a secret technique that can improve physical fitness."

[A rational discussion of the pros and cons of the "Secret to Improving Physical Fitness" method]

These posts all listed prices, more or less. Mo Shuwan's gaze lingered on the last post, which listed ten points. She figured it must contain some valuable information. With that thought in mind, she clicked on the post and noticed out of the corner of her eye that the points in the upper right corner had already been automatically deducted.

The poster's name is very auspicious, "Happy Chinese New Year," but his serious and methodical writing style doesn't quite match his name.

Happy Chinese New Year: First, let me introduce this secret technique. It is the most point-consuming secret technique among all known secret techniques, and unlike other secret techniques, it does not have an immediate effect. So why is this secret technique, which consumes so many points, not as effective as other secret techniques?

Let me give you a few examples. Wu Minhui, a member of the G-103 team, used the Water Convection Technique. His captain, Jiang, was originally a monster who became famous on the forum after only four mission worlds. But as everyone knows, after five mission worlds, this powerful Jiang was surpassed by his teammate Wu Minhui. Many people don't understand why such a powerful Jiang would be surpassed by the ordinary Wu Minhui. Now I will tell you the answer.

The secret manual Jiang chose back then was this one that was considered a cancer. The reason why this manual is said to be slow to take effect is because it requires countless points to accumulate. If you don't have enough points, you naturally can't exchange for more medicinal herbs. Without medicinal herbs, you can't become stronger, which is why everyone says it's slow to take effect.

After seven mission worlds, Jiang, who was thought to be useless, has reappeared in our sight. Some people once said that Jiang could knock Wu Minhui, who was at the height of his power, away with one punch. No one knows how powerful Jiang is now. The only thing we can be sure of is that as long as you have enough points, you can become stronger than anyone expected.

In my opinion, the only drawback of this manual is that all the medicinal herbs require an astonishingly high number of points. This manual is specifically designed for abnormally powerful individuals. As far as I know, half of those powerful beings use this manual, while the other half do not because they are monsters themselves.

Flowers and Grass: Hehe, you said it yourself, this is a secret manual specially prepared for abnormally strong people, but how many such people are there in the Time Bus? Most people risk their lives to fight for those few points to survive in the next world, and they simply can't afford to use this cancerous secret manual, which is the biggest drawback.

Haha: I agree with the comment above. This kind of secret manual shouldn't be in the public eye. It's also extremely deceptive. Many newcomers can't imagine how many points are needed behind those herbs marked with their year. Besides, everyone knows that the more points you have, the stronger you are. It's complete nonsense. It's a waste of my ten points.

I am a monster: Anyway, I can't afford it. I was young and ignorant and exchanged for one. Luckily, I exchanged it for a secret manual in time.

Call Me Grandpa: Tsk tsk tsk, the poster's nonsense actually got approved with ten points. Is Bus deliberately trying to lure some poor souls into exchanging for this manual? I wonder how much the poster made this round?

...

Mo Shuwan scrolled down and found that almost all the replies were sarcastic towards the original poster. After reading all the comments, her heart sank.

"From what we know so far... the medicinal herbs needed to exchange for this manual are indeed very expensive in terms of points! And not only are they expensive, but they also require a lot of materials." Mo Shuwan frowned in distress.

In the first volume, there are a total of 88 kinds of medicinal herbs. She has only exchanged for three kinds so far. Herbs like Qingyang Fruit are also incredibly expensive. She thought she could exchange for more herbs with so many points this time, but reality has dealt her a heavy blow.

For some unknown reason, Mo Shuwan's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

She left the forum, opened the messaging app, and sent a message to Wen Zuo.

Mo Shuwan: Have you seen the price of Qingyang fruit?

After waiting a few minutes without receiving a reply, she figured Wen Zuo was still busy, so she stopped waiting and opened the forum again, reading through all the posts. After finishing, her hand felt a little sore from holding the same position, so she touched her wrist and tried to take the phone off, and to her surprise, she succeeded.

The red bracelet is still quietly resting on my wrist.

Mo Shuwan looked at her phone and exited the thread.

How can I keep the items I obtain in the mission world, away from the bus?

[For those who have had their medicinal herbs bought at inflated prices by buses, here's how to deal with it]

Upon seeing the title of the first post, Mo Shuwan clicked on it immediately.

Smiling face: Those who clicked on this post must be cuties who have been ripped off by the bus service. You worked so hard to get something back, but the bus only gave you 100 points, and you have to redeem it for 1000 points! Is there any justice in this world?! Now I'll teach you how to deal with this. If you think what I said makes sense, please don't be stingy. Just a little point will earn you my friendship!

Looking at the last sentence the original poster wrote in the main post, Mo Shuwan silently moved her gaze down and saw two red words: "Donation". She glanced at them and continued to follow the post.

The Rooster Who Loves to Crow: OP, please stop keeping us in suspense, thank you!

The hen clucks: I didn't spend five points to come here to read this.

Smiley face: Looks like you cuties are all in a hurry. Okay, now I'll tell you the truth. Please don't forget, all you need is a little bit of points to gain my friendship! My! Smiley face! Friendship!

Smiley face: To avoid the bus and leave your stuff behind, you first need to unlock the trading forum. The condition for unlocking the trading forum is to complete five mission worlds. Of course, as long as one person in your team completes five mission worlds, everyone's trading forum will be unlocked. Once you enter the trading forum, you can find a product called a trading card.

Smiley face: This transaction card is of course not for use between us passengers. The transaction card is a card used between passengers and the bus. Although this card is expensive, one transaction card can be used at least ten times. As long as you are sure that what you have is valuable, you can tell the bus when you return that you want to use the transaction card once, and then the bus will give you the goods you specify.

Smiley face: But don't worry, although the trading cards are expensive, there are plenty of them, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them.

Smiley face: Are you guys satisfied with my message? If so, please use one point, and you'll gain my friendship!!!
